Will This DQ Me For Good?

[Grantisonfire]

Hey Ladies and Gents, I have a question in regards to the BI part. This will be pretty short and sweet.

My main question is, can I still get hired on somewhere.

When I was 21 I applied for my first agency, I just got out of the Marine Corp with no college yet. I have smoked THC 3 times in my life. I have never stolen or been in any kind of trouble. My background for the most part is pretty squeaky clean with no major issues. However, I was rejected on my first try applying to an agency at 21. The only part I disclosed in my background is that when I was 16 after a major surgery, I gave away my pain medication. I barely remember even doing that. I can't remember if it was just a few or the whole bottle, I think it was the remaining amount, but it is very vague in my memory. I listed that under the part where it asked "have ever sold any drugs?" Well, I don't remember any money or anything being exchanged, I just gave them to him because he was a friend. Was it stupid? No doubt it was.

I applied to another agency at 22 and got DQ'd.

I am now 27 with a Bachelors degree, I am a former Associate Pastor and I will be CLEET certified within the next 8 months.

My question is, do I have a good chance at getting hired knowing, that incident took place 11 years ago? When I list the former agencies that I have applied for, will the current agency contact the other I was DQ'd from and release my information? I will continue to disclose the prior agency's I have applied for, it's just that incident has grown even more vague, and now I pretty much don't remember anything about the incident other than one particular image. I also don't remember what I told them on my Prior applications because it was 5-6 years ago.

Thanks for you help.

In NY a giving someone narcotics or marijuana whether money is exchanged or not, is considered sale. So according to your description of events you are permanently DQ'd here.

To begin with NO ONE is going to believe that you don't remember (or barely remember ) this incident.
#2 It doesn't matter if any money was exchanged------you provided drugs to someone who was not prescribed those drugs

You are most likely TOAST for the vast majority of agencies in the United States

I don't believe you...................................

YES any agency WILL talk to the previous agency

The difficulty is, that there are (believe it, or not) many applicants with your SAME or quite similar qualifications, but they did NOT give away their pain meds to a friend. When everyone looks really good, you merely thin the herd by DQ'ing the ones with a blemish.

Well, I appreciate all of your input. I will PM you Vista.

I don't know if you'd be perma DQ'd here, but you'd have an uphill battle against similar candidates without that mark on their past.

I'm sure I'll have an uphill battle. But again, I appreciate everyone taking the time to read and give their input on the situation.

While you may not be permanently disqualified from every agency in every state,you have an uphill battle.
